Sea Ranch Family Excursion

Sea Ranch was our destination this weekend. Every year the family gathers for Grandpa's birthday. Sea Ranch is on the North Coast above Fort Ross and below Gualala. It's a beautiful area with rugged coast line, wild animals, abundant flora, and wild weather. The North coast is known by hunters and fisherman for abalone, ling cod, and crab. Brian braved the chilly water on Saturday. The sea was calm and the viz was decent. Brian dove for several hours. He caught a dungeness crab and released it. We saw harbor seals and even a sea otter.
